2014 Ford Flex Suspension Problems

“The steering arm broke off of my right front tire while I was driving in a parking lot. The car snapped forward and the tire was lodged in the frame. I could not move my car. My car has 59,000 miles. If this would have happened at a high rate of speed, it could have killed me.”

“Ford notified my in march of 2020 of an open recall on the rear suspension toe link, and that I should schedule an appointment with service to have this taken care of.
